Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)

What EDR is, why it matters, and how it catches attacks that traditional antivirus misses.

Endpoint detection and response tools monitor every device in your organization in real time, identifying suspicious behavior that traditional antivirus misses. They provide visibility into attacks at the moment they occur.

How EDR Works

EDR agents collect telemetry from endpoints: file execution, process behavior, network connections, and registry changes. Central analysis tools correlate this data, identify patterns, and surface suspicious activity. Analysts investigate and respond to threats.

Why EDR Beats Traditional Antivirus

Antivirus depends on signature databases — known malware. EDR depends on behavior. An attacker can create entirely new malware and traditional antivirus will miss it. EDR will detect unusual behavior even if the malware is brand new.
